tender moments in the heart of the city

kind staff clean room wide range
The reception staff showed kindness and efficiency. our room was kept very clean and warm. the breakfast included many choices. It had a wide variety of food and drinks. it was easy to begin our exploration of the city... a short walk took us to o'connell street.
the walls seemed thin, i could hear sounds from neighboring rooms. the hotel could benefit from some soundproofing improvements. this would really enhance the overall stay.

Wonderful Traditional Hotel

friendly staff helpful staff delicious breakfast quiet lounge
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. I needed a to-go cup for tea and they happily provided it. The hot breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed sitting in the lounge to read a book there.
My room faced the road, and it had some traffic noise early in the morning from buses.
